General Improvements to the Glorious Game of atWar

I first found out about this game from a friend a little over 2 years ago. Since then, I have seen little change in the game. Not that this is bad of course, but I find that there is potential for improvement. For starters, I oftentimes get bored of looking at the same icons for everything. So, I propose that a function should be added, like that in the popular game of Minecraft, to change the textures of the game, or a new Texture Pack. This will allow each user his or her own view of the game, in different styles, such as Civil War, Futuristic War, Medieval War, or Modern Warfare. This would bring a whole new aspect to the game, especially in the case of Role-Playing Games with Custom Maps. In addition, Custom Layouts could also be interesting, such as to reformat the units list in a city, and replace it with categories, to have each individual kind of unit in its own category. For instance, tanks would be found under Attack, which would be found under Land Units. Second, More Varieties of Units. This would allow a more creative aspect to the game, with more potential methods of victory. This would also go along with custom textures, once again, supporting in-game RP. Finally, and the one I've really wanted to share for a long time, MORE GAMEMODES. Examples of such include King of the Hill, in which one person/team must choose several countries to defend, after being allowed 60 seconds to consider options, or discuss amongst themselves. Another game mode would be Tower Defense, in which one person/team is put on a route with water on either side, and the defending team must use cities placed along that route to defend the enemies(If this Gamemode is considered, please keep in mind that defense lines should be nerfed, and that at the end of the route, maybe have a General unit at the end).

One last note: Often, to win a game is tedious and boring, having to outlast the others. So, I propose that a new game mode be added that either speeds up the game, or new methods of winning the game are introduced. Also, MAKE THIS GAME INTO AN APP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see... What you're asking is basically for map makers to work on new maps, with new and different units and with different in game aims, which don't really need to have anything with actual wars. In this case I highly recomend you to make your own map based on your own ideas. Btw, there are already maps about civil wars, futuristic wars, modern wars and medieval wars.... if you're worried that RP map is based on the standard map, then make your own RP map.....

Btw, there already are different winning methods such as anhilation or caputre "x" country and hold it for "y" turns to win.

This game isn't able to be played outside of computers yet since mobile phones don't support silverlight. Admins are already working on it so chill out.

I am of the opinion that more settings will be good.

Changeable game mechanics would really be nice, but I can see how it would be a nightmare to program.

In addition, I think that there should be a game mode that involves SP "Gambling", in which the host selects a region as usual, but instead of choosing your own country, you are randomly given a one from that region. You country is hidden from the other players, so you can bet a certain amount of SP based on your confidence in your country and abilities. You would then face the other players in a round lasting as many turns as the host previously set, and whoever wins based on one stat or another(Number of cities, taking capital of other players, number of countries, number of troops, etc. This is also preset by the host) wins all the SP the other players bet.

And none of this will never happen because our admins are slow. They haven't even finished HTML5 and it's been a few years.
